SPEECH LAB

Name: Kate Motoyama 1. What is the general purpose of your lab?

Complementary service to classroom instruction 2. What are the SLO’s? (student learning outcomes)

Students will complete complementary assignments that support classroom instruction 3. How do the services of your lab support the SLO’s for your lab?

Videotaping oral presentations Viewing videos of oral presentations in class Supporting a website that contains supplementary materials for the lab and classroom

4. How do you measure these SLO’s?

Task-based activity or successful completion of module (direct/quantitative measure) 5a. What is the academic relationship between student participation in your lab and success in your discipline’s courses?

Hours by arrangement 5b. Are any of these activities in no. 5 [above] unit-bearing?

No 5c. Do students who use your lab receive a grade or pass/no pass option?

Yes 5d. Comments:

Work completed in the lab or through use of the lab receive a grade or credit/no credit 5e. Is lab attendance required?

Yes 5f. If attendance is required, how many hours?

It is 1 hr/by arrangement but the most instructors require, if they have lab assignments at all, is 3 hrs/semester

5g. Is current enrollment in a course(s) or program required to use the lab/center?

Yes 5h. Other comments on student participation and lab use:

However, we might accept the occasional walk-in student; for example, ascsm's commencement speaker receives support from the lab

6. Where are you located? 18-110

7. How many rooms do you use?

1




V.3, 2/17/09

8. What is the name and purpose of each room? Speech lab

9. Do you currently have any unmet needs regarding space or location? If so, please explain.

Yes. I have consistently discussed these in program review. I have completed a comprehensive survey of all labs in the division to look at allocation of space and resources (faculty hours for lab/center activity; staffing by ft or pt aides), as well as usage of labs--the latter is extremely subjective because labs "count" visits differently. The speech lab needs more rooms or equipment for videotaping of speeches; currently, we have 2 rooms to serve around 25 sections; the lab is open about 25 hrs/week.

10. What kinds of staffing do you have in your lab/center?

Assigned paid faculty instructional aides/student aides

11. Do you currently have any unmet needs regarding staffing? If so, please explain.

The instructional aide works 19/hrs a week; together with paid faculty, the lab is open 25/hrs week, usually during prime class times (9-1:30). The aide is "shared" with the foreign language center, so the time the speech lab receives is 8-9 hours a week. We need a ft instructional aide.

12. What are the hours that your lab is open?

Mtwth 9-1:30 fri 10-12 mon eve 5:30-6:20 wed eve 5:30-6:20 we need a schedule that supports student success.

13. What kinds of academic support services do you offer?

One-on-one appointment conferences Drop-in with assistance by faculty

14. What kinds of logistical support services do you offer?

Providing instructional materials Checking students in; attendance monitoring Providing instructional equipment

15. How is the lab used?

Open/drop-in use Tutoring appointments with faculty, aides or peers Assigned classes

16. What kinds of instructional materials do you have?

Modules Books DVDs Videos Some modules available online




V.3, 2/17/09

17. What kinds of instructional equipment do you provide students? Recording devices A/v equipment Printers Computers Headphones

18. What kinds of online services does your lab/center provide?

Modules Provide one-on-one online responses to students who submit assignments

19. Do you currently have any unmet needs for materials and equipment?

Because lab space is inadequate and it is more likely we can get equipment as opposed to more space for video recording, I am looking into writing proposals to enable students to check out recording equipment so they can play back their recording in the lab. This is the reason I will submit a mini program review for 2007-08

20. Is this lab/center tracking student attendance?

Yes If so, do you use special software?

No If not, do you have plans to do so?

Not at this time 21. Do you conduct any type of “student satisfaction” survey or other means of obtaining student feedback regarding quality of services in your lab/center?

Yes If “yes,” please describe:

We collected questionnaires that contained quantitative and qualitative feedback provided by students; however, we did not do this for several semesters

If “no,” do you have plans to do so?

Yes, but my immediate priority is to write an equipment request for portable digital video cam equipment for student check-out use as well as to justify a ft instructional aide position.

22. Is there anything else you would like to add about your lab or center for us to better understand it? Please share any other comments that you would like to make here:

The speech department offers nearly 25 sections of courses which usually have good enrollment and retention. For this, we have collected hba monies, yet we can only offer a lab that is open 25 hrs/week during prime class times. The space is inadequate. We have an aide that works half-time who does not do paraprofessional duties; the faculty who staff and coordinate the lab have very few hours of paid time to evaluate student work or tutor students--yet that is the best value we could provide to students. One solution would be to compensate faculty to meet with students one on one, as in the writing center; we do not have this kind of set-up, but do similar work on a catch-as-catch-can basis. I would like to receive clear numbers for what is generated through hba by 25 sections of our department's courses, and am making this formal request of you as we look into the productivity and efficacy of labs on campus. Please let me know when you could meet with me and Yaping to go over this information. Thank you. -kate motoyama

CSM COASTSIDE Name: Ron Andrade 1. What is the general purpose of your lab?

The primary purpose of the Coastside lab is to support students acquiring basic skills in reading, writing, and speaking English. “basic skills” also includes computer literacy, and eventually math. Additionally, the lab supports classes in application software such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver. The lab also augments courses such as creative writing and health. Finally the lab provides on-line resources to students who may not otherwise have access. Use includes research, faculty consultation, and other appropriate activities.


Students should be able to incorporate use of the lab materials, software, and equipment into their program of study. Students know where to access lab resources.


We provide open lab hours for students to access materials and equipment outside of scheduled class time. Faculty and staff assist students with equipment use so that they can more effectively use them for completion of course assignments.


Student surveys (indirect/qualitative measure) Sign in sheet to track student use of facility.


Hours by arrangement Lab-only course Open-entry support service

D. Copiers E. Headphones F. A/v equipment Computers


Online access for distance education courses or components for traditional classes 19. Do you currently have any unmet needs for materials and equipment?

Yes, given we cannot expand our room to accommodate 32 (rather than 24 computers); it would be beneficial to have a portable 16-laptop cart to use not only in the computer lab but also in the other classrooms.


Only as it applies to student participation in courses. Not open hour use. If not, do you have plans to do so?

Student attendance in classes is recorded by the instructor. The lab only course uses paper sign in/out sheets to record student use. As use of the facility grows we do plan on using software to record student lab use.

21. Do you conduct any type of “student satisfaction” survey or other means of obtaining student feedback regarding quality of services in your lab/center?


Since this is the first semester that the facility has been in use we have not done any student satisfaction surveys but anticipate doing so going forward.


As mentioned above, this is the first semester that the Coastside facility has been in use and setting up the computer lab and establishing processes for monitoring student use and for obtaining student feedback are all new. We do plan on implementing procedures to accomplish these tasks.

No. 20. Is this lab/center tracking student attendance?

Yes, teachers take attendance for their classes when needed. If so, do you use special software?




Lab personnel verbally survey students on a daily basis to make sure they have all the tools they need and that they are able to complete their assignments.


Even though the lab is titled the ‘computer information science lab’, we work with many other highly technical disciplines including, but not limited to engineering, drafting/architecture, nursing, biology, and chemistry. If your course requires use of advanced software suites that require full security access to the local computer, we are the best spot at csm.

Open skills laboratory provides the nursing student with the opportunity to practice skills in a safe, controlled environment, with the supervision of nursing faculty, the student receives feedback regarding performance of skills and competencies. (see skills competencies for each course)


Apply nursing methods, protocols, and procedures to appropriate care situations. (program SLO 1)

Use the nursing process, which emphasizes critical thinking, independent judgment, and continual evaluation as a means to determine nursing activities. (program SLO 2)

Utilize theory and knowledge from nursing, the physical/behavioral sciences, and humanities in providing nursing care. (program SLO 3)

Identify and assess the health care needs of patients/clients using the tools/framework appropriate to the clinical setting. (program SLO 4)

Document and evaluate the outcome of nursing and other interventions and communicate to team members. (program SLO 5)

Work in partnership with patients, clients and caregivers. (program SLO 7) Perform current legal and professional standards for nurses in relation to common clinical

problems. (program SLO 11) Practice in a manner that respects patient confidentiality and adheres to hipaa. (program

SLO 12) Appraise own professional performance accurately. (program SLO 13) Evaluate professional learning needs and take steps to meet them. (program SLO 14)


Services and resources are well aligned. Students practice skills and receive faculty feedback and evaluation, engage in study/practice sessions with their peers as tutors, demonstrate competency assessment and receive faculty evaluation, complete clinical or skills laboratory make-up assignments, and learn effective skills in a group setting.


Student surveys (indirect/qualitative measure) Task-based activity or successful completion of module (direct/quantitative measure) Competency checklists; student's identified focus and achievement of focus (may need

remediation in a skill not practiced for a while). 5a. What is the academic relationship between student participation in your lab and success in your discipline’s courses?

Lab-only course Open-entry support service



It is a mandatory lab. Students must sign up for a minimum of 0.5 unit per semester or 24 hours.




V.3, 2/17/09

5d. Comments: students received a credit/ or no credit. There is not an option for a grade.

5e. Is lab attendance required?


The minimum unit structure required per semester is 0.5 unit or 24 hours. Students can sign up for a maximum of 3 units per semester.



Only enrolled students can use the lab. 6. Where are you located?

Building 23 7. How many rooms do you use?

Based on if other nursing classes are in session, a maximum are 4 classrooms. A minimum could be that for a small segment of time, I may have to hold lab in the nursing lab foyer.


Two large rooms are smart classrooms with beds and manikins: students can practice in small groups and with the bulky equipment. The can easily be put in learning teams. 175: very small room: high fidelity equipment for video competency and simulation. One small room off the foyer: small classroom to hold 12 students: media review, small skills can be in room, no running water or counters for skills.


If so, please explain. Space is limited. Equipment storage is very difficult because of the difficulty space. Not all equipment is used every semester; however, there is no place to store it when it is not in use. There are iv pumps, feeding pumps, patient lifts, wheels chairs, etc. Year round when all classes are offered. New facilities being constructed.

19. Do you currently have any unmet needs for materials and equipment? Yes. We need: 1. A new printer A copy machine Space to accommodate 5-7 more lap tops Space to accommodate more students and tutors during peak periods (9am to noon).





Every semester our students participate in the mrc survey. Last semester the survey was administered online and we had about 200 participants. Each semester the survey and all student comments are carefully analyzed by lead faculty. Although most comments are mostly positive, student feedback has lead to some modifications in the operation of the mrc to better meet student needs.


We also collect and analyze data on the mrc usage regularly. The final report on it is submitted to the dean after each semester (including summer semesters) and then posted on the math faculty share point.

WRITING CENTER AND ENGLISH 800 LAB Name: Juanita Alunan and Daniel Keller 1. What is the general purpose of your lab?

The writing center and English 800 lab are dedicated to fostering proficiency in writing by helping students with specific challenges, such as thesis; organization, development and coherence; integration of quotations and paraphrases; specific sentence combining and grammar patterns; esl issues; and critical thinking strategies. To help students become better writers as well as independent editors of their own essays, we provide one-on-one interaction with highly trained members of the csm English and esl faculty.


SLO 1: students should demonstrate mastery of specific writing, research, or critical thinking skills.

SLO 2: students should be able to identify, understand, and incorporate the writing skills they need to work on after completion of one-on-one essay conferences with faculty.

SLO 3: students should acquire a greater understanding and control of their writing process. 3. How do the services of your lab support the SLO’s for your lab?

One-on-one essay conferences with faculty allow students to get individualized attention in order to improve specific writing, research, or critical thinking skills; gain a greater understanding and control of their writing process; and become independent editors of their own essays.


Student surveys (indirect/qualitative measure) Exit paragraph/ exit exam (direct/quantitative measure) Task-based activity or successful completion of module (direct/quantitative measure)





English and esl 850 require students to register in the center for variable units as selected by individual students.


Yes

5e. Comments: Students who are enrolled in English and esl 850 receive a cr or no credit for the units they

have registered for. 5f. Is lab attendance required?




V.3, 2/17/09

Yes

5g. If attendance is required, how many hours? For this course, the hour by arrangement provides students with the opportunity to enrich

their learning beyond class time through a number of activities and materials available in the writing center and English 800 lab or through activities outside of the center. The writing center and English 800 lab provide support for student writing needs at many levels: one-on-one tutoring conferences with English instructors, tutorials on specific writing and critical thinking skills (in hard copy and on the web), English and esl reference materials, and group workshops to assist students with their writing skills. Computers with access to the world wide web are also available for researching, composing, and printing student essays as well as DVD and vhs equipment for viewing literature, plays, and films. If the activity is completed in the writing center and English 800 lab, the staff will sign the yellow reporting form. While students can take advantage of all the resources in the center, instructors may also assign a number of other activities which satisfy the hour by arrangement. They can include conferring with the classroom instructor, attending cultural event(s), viewing video(s) off campus, and reading book-length work(s). In this case, the classroom instructor will sign the yellow reporting form.

5h. Is current enrollment in a course(s) or program required to use the lab/center?

No 5i. Other comments on student participation and lab use:

As a pilot program, during fall 2008 we have opened our centers to drop-in (non-English and non-hba) students on a space-available basis during early afternoon hours, on monday and wednesday from 1:00-2:30 p.m. This will allow any csm students the opportunity to stop in and get help with papers for any of their classes.

6. Where are you located? The writing center is located in 18-104; the English 800 lab is next door in 18-102.


We use three rooms. 8. What is the name and purpose of each room?

See response to #1 for the purpose of the writing center and English 800 lab. The quiet room, located next door to the writing center in 18-106, allows students to read, write, and work on computers without the distractions and activities in the adjoining centers.


English department faculty have expressed their satisfaction with the current space and location of the centers in surveys, department meetings, and retreats.

Yes, in a variety of ways: reporting forms and writing assignments for our hba students and through computer check-in for English and esl 850.

If so, do you use special software? We use excel spreadsheets for our English and esl 850 students.

If not, do you have plans to do so?

We are exploring new ways of tracking our students.




V.3, 2/17/09


We believe that the English 800 lab and writing center offer an exemplary model for other colleges because our faculty members possess the training and expertise necessary to ensure that our students excel in all facets of their writing. In fact, English instructors from other bay area community colleges have visited our centers because of our reputation for using cutting-edge technology and pedagogically sound practices.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CENTER

Name: Richard Castillo 1. What is the general purpose of your lab?

To provide both required and supplementary support materials that complement classroom instruction and facilitate and enhance the learning of American sign language, Chinese (mandarin), French, German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish; to provide instructional help on a drop-in basis; to provide a dedicated space for students to collaborate on their language learning; to provide materials

2. What are the SLO’s? (student learning outcomes) Near the end of the semester, students who have used the foreign language center

Will find that their learning of the language they are studying has been enhanced by use of the materials and equipment in the center

Will find that their learning of the language has been facilitated by working with one or more instructors in the center.


The flc is stocked with a variety of useful reference materials; the computer network provides required and supplementary audio and video components linked to the texts used in the foreign language classes, as well as access to the internet for those courses that have online components; the certificated staff provide expert additional instruction; the instructional aide provides technical assistance and assures that the students' study needs are met.


Student surveys (indirect/qualitative measure) 5a. What is the academic relationship between student participation in your lab and success in your discipline’s courses?

Hours by arrangement Open-entry support service


No 5b. If "yes", please explain:

But indirectly, yes. The unit load for each of the transfer-level language classes includes a 50-minute/week or 100-minute/week requirement, which many students fulfill in the flc. Although students do not register separately for the flc, the work they do in the flc is factored into the grade they receive in the class.

5c. Do students who use your lab receive a grade or pass/no pass option?

No




V.3, 2/17/09

5d. Comments: Since they do not register separately in the flc, no units or grade options are applicable.

However, as stated above, individual foreign language instructors monitor and assess the time and work done in the flc.

5e. Is lab attendance required?


In the transfer level classes (110–140) the requirement for 3-unit classes is 15 hrs/semester and for 5-unit classes is 30 hrs/semester. Attendance in the flc provides one of several authorized methods of meeting this course requirement.



Students also use the flc as a place to work alone or with classmates on assignments that do not necessarily require flc resource materials. They also consult with and receive individual help from certificated language instructors.


The flc is accessible on the ground floor of building 18 in room 112. 7. How many rooms do you use?

One, however foreign language students are allowed to use the video-recording rooms of the interconnected speech lab on an as-needed basis.


The foreign language center (flc), often referred to simply as "the lab," is a comfortable and inviting study hall furnished with sofa, armchairs, round tables and chairs, networked pc and Mac computers, cassette/cd/DVD players, and stocked with reference books, texts, manuals, and assorted video and audio materials for use in the lab and, in some cases, for short-term lending.


At present the space and location are adequate for our needs, although at peak times or when an instructor brings an entire class to the flc, we run out of space, computers, and resource materials.




We are not able to remain open continuously, and in the fall 08 semester we do not have staff representing all of the languages we offer. (many language classes are only offered in the evening, but current evening staff represents only Chinese and French. Certificated staff during teach Spanish and Italian.) As enrollment patterns change and budget normalizes we hope to be able to have all the languages represented by at least one shift per week.




V.3, 2/17/09

12. What are the hours that your lab is open? Officially, monday through thursday, 9:00 am to 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. Some

staff hold regularly scheduled office hours in the flc in an effort to keep the lab open and available for student use. To the above official hours, add monday through thursday, 7:15 am to 8:00 am and 1:00 pm to 3 pm.

We await the purchase and installation of a network server on which to put all of our audio and video materials for easy access by all computers in the flc. The current iTunes-based system works but is inefficient and confusing for students and staff, and it is limited in size (video materials are especially memory-hungry resources).



Excel spreadsheets

If not, do you have plans to do so?




V.3, 2/17/09

In the future an integrated computerized check-in system would greatly facilitate attendance tracking.


The flc does in fact enhance the students' language learning but does not assess their language learning success, but rather their successful use of the materials and services offered by the flc. Teachers of each language include skills in the SLO’s of their courses, and they are best suited to assess the progress of the students and the relationship between lab attendance and use of lab resources with success in the classroom.

READING/ESL CENTER

Name: Kristi Ridgway 1. What is the general purpose of your lab?

The reading/esl center is dedicated to fostering proficiency in English reading, listening and speaking skills.

2. What are the SLO’s? (student learning outcomes) SLO’s for the reading/esl center after working in the reading/esl center, students should show improvement in the following areas:

SLO 1: students should be able to converse or read in English with improved fluency. SLO 2: students should be able to converse more accurately or read demonstrating greater

comprehension and/or better use of study reading strategies in English. SLO 3: students should be able to demonstrate greater understanding and/or use of English

vocabulary. 3. How do the services of your lab support the SLO’s for your lab?

(looking at this now, I think this is a confusing question - can we give an example or ask this differently - what, exactly, are we trying to get at?)


Student surveys (indirect/qualitative measure) Exit paragraph/ exit exam (direct/quantitative measure) Task-based activity or successful completion of module (direct/quantitative measure)


Hours by arrangement Lab-only course


Yes 5b. If "yes", please explain:

Lab-only courses are .5-2 variable units. Hour-by-arrangement courses are 3.0 unit courses that include lab visits and work as part of the requirements of the course.

5c. Do students who use your lab receive a grade or pass/no pass option?

Yes 5d. Is lab attendance required?

Yes 5e. If attendance is required, how many hours?

Three 8. What is the name and purpose of each room?

Main room - check-in/check-out of students and resources, student computer use, independent study appointment room - appointments with instructors or staff pronunciation room - student computers for pronunciation practice


Yes - we do not have any space available in the center for read 415 students to meet with faculty. Currently these meetings are taking place outside of the center.


Instructional aides/student aides Assigned paid faculty Student tutors


Yes, we need more flcs for faculty to meet the appointment needs of our students overall, more instructional aides (.5-1.0 more needed) to handle the basic tasks of running the center on a daily basis and more student tutors (trained, qualified students to help students overcome errors and confusion in reading)
